Hi Dears,Praise The Lord....... Bread, Fish & Egg! (Continuation) Reading: Daniel 9:16-23 This is the confidence we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us (1 Jn 5:14) To continue on our meditation on the Sermon on Prayer— Mt 7:7, Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. The answer to prayer is certain. The very nature of God is to answer prayer. We will get what we ask for. We will find what we seek. The door we knock will open. Do not doubt God. Simple faith is not that easy in a scientific age. But there is no other way. It is God who is calling us to ask, seek and knock. What for, but to answer us? God delights in our asking and even more in His answering. Mt 7:8, For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. God plays no favouritism. Everyone is equally important and precious to Him. No doubt we need the prayer help of others but we do not need anybodys recommendation. We can approach God directly. There is no gift called getting prayers answered. Can God be partial to His children ? Elijah was not a deluxe edition. He was a man with a nature like ours. He prayed and God answered. The effective, fervent prayer of any righteous man avails much (Js 5:16-18). We are made righteous in Christ. Shed down all inhibitions and pray boldly. Mt 7:9-11, What man is there among you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him? God gives precisely what we ask. Whatever comes from the Father of Lights is good and perfect (Js 1:17). In the place of good things Luke writes Holy Spirit (Lk 11:13). The best of gifts! The Promise of the Father! Pray daily for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit. God will give the Spirit without measure because He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think! (Eph 3:20). O Thou that hearest prayer! Attend our humble cry; And let Thy servants share Thy blessing from on High: We plead the promise of Thy Word; Grant us Thy Holy Spirit, Lord!
